I have wondered whether Jordan Peterson has a handler. His debate with Slavoj Zizek was terrible and very unlike his usual intelligence. I remember reading somewhere online that says he has links with CIA. Famous people often have strings behind them. His book even made it to NYT bestseller ... that means he is likely to have interacted with some STS deep state group since the big media companies are stringent in what the masses are exposed to. Maybe he made a contract with them, sacrificed some part of his free will in order to enlighten the masses.
Thinking a bit more about this... Jordan Petersen also worked in a
University for most of his life -
teaching psychology of all things! From this, I think it we can guess that he's secretly a 33rd degree Mason who has gone through all the necessary child sacrifice rituals to his Master, Jahbulon.
Or... maybe not.
We've all chosen to be here for some reason at this little blip in space-time. Our Souls incarnate on the 'frequency structure' of our genetic inheritance, plus karmic reference. And it's good to remember that we have incarnated on a Fallen world. We are negatively programmed from a young age by our parents, our peers and the culture at large. We get spirit attachments, abducted, and experimented on, and are subject to all kinds of paranormal phenomena that we have no ability to comprehend. There are traumas, dark shadows, unresolved past life dynamics and high archetypal dramas running through us. And, most importantly, we also have an excellent capacity to make plain old mistakes in all matters of love and life.
From an excerpt of Laura's
new book (p. 248), a summary of Paul's theodicy by Ashworth:
Ashworth's analysis focuses on consistent translation of key words and phrases in Paul's letters, revealing a handful of basic ideas: a) faith and law as alternative and mutually exclusive ways of knowing God's will, the former being known directly, from within, and the latter experienced only externally and serving a temporary function for humanity; b) sin as the universal state of humanity, a collective childhood in which we have become enslaved, made blind, and from which all need to be liberated; c) the liberation itself, in which we enter adulthood, reconciling spirit and flesh, restoring our function as the 'image of God', making God incarnate in ourselves, and seeing the sin of our 'childhood' as a painful but necessary stage in gaining the knowledge of good and evil; and d) the faith demonstrated by Jesus to die for others, and his victory over death symbolized by the cross, and one's participation in faith and suffering, establishing the new way of relating to the divine. Central to all is the nature o the transformation itself: the new way of being is accompanied by a new way of SEEing the self, others, the world, God, and our true role in relation to all of them; what amounts to seeing the unseen, the spiritual reality, as at least as real as the material reality, if not more so.
Paul writes that sin is the collective state of humanity - we are born into the flesh. But we have the possibility of rising into the Spirit. We are first children, but may grow into maturity. We are slaves, but can be freed. We are first blind, but we may SEE.
Jordan Petersen's message, while not the same as Paul's, is incredibly similar on many key points, and one in particular - his almost apocalyptic plea for human beings to lift ourselves out of the muck of our customary drudgery and rise into the sheer gift of the potential of this life we have been given.
If Petersen has made a few mistakes in this life, so be it, whatever it may be. I don't see that as a good enough reason to moralize him because of it, and start piling up unsubstantiated dark speculations. His mistakes don't somehow erase the magnitude of service he has rendered unto so many thousands of Souls across this Fallen world.
I'm glad you brought this up, because it led me back into Laura's book to search for what Paul/Ashworth/Laura say about SEEing.
It seems clear to me that SEEing is one of the many elements in the cycles of Soul growth. From page 256:
The righteousness that faith brings involves an empowering liberation from the state of sin, the ability to see the unseen, and it necessarily results in right action. It is a state of being in which one both knows and does what is right - the real "I" of Conscience that emerges once the false "I" of the flesh has been killed in oneself by repeated acts of seeing and doing what is right. It involves a change in self-perception in which the wrongness of the habitual state of death or sin is exposed - seeing oneself in a new light. Righteousness, salvation, absolution - whatever you call it - is the product of an inner transformation, not based on any exclusive social or religious status symbols, like circumcision, birth, race, worldly accomplishments, etc. All those thing are now seen to be worthless, and the real, fundamental problem is clearly seen for what it is: the selfishness and sin caused by blind identification with the flesh, the material world, experienced as fundamentally constraining: a prison, slavery, a state of deadness and mortality. Selfish assertion - sin - must be crucified in order for righteousness to take its place. In this new state of faith, living in alignment with god's will is now possible, as the locus of God's righteousness; God's way of acting in the world through individual mortals. For Paul, Christ is the embodiment of God's image/wisdom/righteousness. His action is one with God's action. And by sharing in Christ's spirit, this also applies to the faithful.
So there's this major part of Soul growth that hinges on 'a willingness to die to the world' in service of a higher ideal. And more the point - it looks like a
continual willingness to do so. We are in for a global initiation. It's already begun. Those who have undertaken an initiation of their own Free Will have already had some practice in sacrificing their false personality and personal wants on the basis of SEEing the world
as it is. This sacrifice grows the Soul, and establishes an ability to adapt to reality on the basis of Knowledge, Faith and service to others. It's like SEEing with the eyes of Love. Those who have not undertaken this personal initiation will cling to the old, dying world, and go down with it. They are in for a trial by fire, and will most likely end up being a sacrifice themselves.
But those who accept what is coming will themselves be accepted as they are.
. I was hoping for a rebound next yr but oh man what's coming.??.
He's very knowledgeable about the whole issue, and he is picking up like-minded followers as well, and he's not pulling any punches. Erin, you just made my day
